Chelsea return to action after the international break this weekend with an away fixture at Bournemouth.
Chelsea play on Saturday night in an 8pm kick-off against Bournemouth in the Premier League.
The Blues have enjoyed their recent meetings against the Cherries, winning three of the last four clashes in the league. This included a recent 2-1 success on the final day of last season.
Chelsea supporters are fuming Anthony Taylor will referee versus Bournemouth, but let’s hope they can return to winning ways to inject some momentum into this campaign. Blues head coach Enzo Maresca can’t be content with just four points from the team’s opening three league games.
Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher predict Bournemouth vs Chelsea
Pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher has previewed Chelsea’s trip to Bournemouth this weekend in the Premier League. During the predictions segment, they had to reach a consensus on the same scoreline.
Neville said on the Stick to Football podcast: “Bournemouth vs Chelsea. Interesting game. I think Chelsea win that.”
Carragher said: “2-1.”
Neville agreed: “2-1 Chelsea.”
The Blues have a couple of form players
Despite an inconsistent start to the season, Chelsea do have some individuals in impressive form going into the Bournemouth fixture.
In particular, Noni Madueke has started the new season in great form. The right-winger has four goals in four club appearances, plus he’ll be buoyed by making his senior England debut earlier this week.
In addition, Cole Palmer has picked up from where he left off last season. The creative playmaker is thriving in the No.10 position, creating four assists in the league already.
It’s time for Chelsea to put their foot down in this set of fixtures before the October international break.
